Porepunkah shooting: Two officers dead and another wounded after shooting at High Country property, Victoria, Australia

[Trooper]

Good thing we (Australian taxpayers) are all contributing to support him and his family financially while he suffers such a disability, just part of being a member of civilised society and doing your bit as an Australian citizen right. Oh… wait a minute

We support him, FEED HIS WIFE AND KIDS, while he speeds around suburban streets, thinking up ways he has been persecuted, fronting up at Centrelink dead on time for payments, ,wandering off shouting abuse at coppers, and pedestrians, and neighbors, and staff at various Govt offices.. killing the wildlife, and on top of all this, finding the time and the energy to sexually assault a child@@809gjgrjdsjgo .... Fair go, sport!!

No matter how he identifies, Mr Mallett admits he has a similar way of thinking to people like Mr Freeman.
"The nutters are going to jump on this, but a nutter he wasn't," he says.

Say what? If he doesn't fit the definition of a nutter I don't know who does.
LOL

Mr Mallett also does not like police, nor does he believe in select hate crime laws.
He loathes that police, as he puts it, "can dress in black with their jackboots and put roadblocks on the side of the road and put dogs on people" while a physical gesture like a Nazi salute is a crime.

Don't we all feel bad for this poor guy who cannot do his beloved Nazi salute as he pleases?

“Whatever happens to me affects my family. The stress, hardships, injustice, misery and poverty exacerbated by not being able to drive affects us all.”

Wow, it would appear that so is life, pal.
Yes, whatever we do or whatever happens to us, the people around us will be affected too.

He clearly has the victim syndrome...everybody else is to blame for everything that happens to him, no accountability, no agency, just complaining and blaming others.

 

[Trooper]

I hope they stumble upon him soon. the longer he is out there, the more I fear for that kid who reported him, most likely it's some young person in the area,,, Dez is too lazy and no drivers license to travel out of the area, and their name would have been on the warrant

“But why are the police targeting meeee?!” He cries.
These people boil my blood. Happy to stick their hand out and take advantage of every benefit being a part of civilisation provides but completely unwilling to even follow the simplest of rules in return (like not hooning through town or just paying a fine when you’ve done the wrong thing) the knob would’ve had his licence back 3 months later if it had even been taken off him, it’s not like they chop off your right hand.

Just watch, if he’s found alive (or near dead suffering from hypothermia or some idiotic injury he’s attained over the past 4 days) I can near guarantee - if they’re not busy being shot at or attacked - the officers who find him will apply first aid, he'll be efficiently retrieved, rushed to hospital (probably airlifted) and our Drs and nurses will work their asses off to fix him, using every treatment available no matter the cost, making sure he's not suffering in pain or treated without dignity. Oh the injustice of living in this country

Lucky for him there are rules for medical professionals obligating them to treat every patient with the same level of care, cause without those rules I don’t think anyone would be willingly working overtime or sticking their hand up for a late shift to care for him otherwise, given the way he treats society in return.

Now that I know that Dezi changed his last name to “Freeman” to portray himself, I have to wonder if his friends have done the name change thing also? Is it a thang……

Mr Freeman had friends and supporters​

“Protected from the rain by a well-used Drizabone and a bushman's hat, Stephen Mallett is an ex-bikie who knows Mr Freeman from a Facebook group dedicated to preparing for the apocalypse.

Mr Mallett makes and sells wooden knives in a local shop at Bright, which is how the ABC managed to get in touch.

Walking alongside his two wolfhounds, Georgie Whitesocks and Tucker Goldenheart, Mr Mallett also wants to make it clear he does not personally identify as a sovereign citizen — a term he doesn't like.”

Yeah it's a thing @Marg944 - They say they are not people, they are a "Free Man". Many change their surnames to reflect this delusional thinking.

What's interesting in that article, however, is that he is in a group prepping for the apocalypse, which means, he probably has a bunker on that property. IMO

“The curtailing of my right to travel extends directly to my family and manifests itself as a form of child abuse by the State in so many ways.

“Whatever happens to me affects my family. The stress, hardships, injustice, misery and poverty exacerbated by not being able to drive affects us all.”

Suspected Porepunkah gunman Dezi Freeman had no convictions for violence or firearm offences, court record shows

The 56-year-old made a series of threats against police and had a long history of minor offences, culminating in the loss of his driver’s licence in 2022

www.theguardian.com

Seems you know all about child abuse Desmond Filby .............allegedly.

Loser thru & thru. A "man" who apparently can't even financially support his family ( I wonder how he met Marli? ) or hold down a job..........what a catch!

IMO

So get a horse and cart, mate.

"A nutter he wasn't" - past tense, eh?

Apparently the alleged killer has been on a disability pension since the early 2000's. He doesn't appear too disabled in the footage I have seen and the fact he has been described as an ' experienced bushman' would indicate he is not too disabled. Does anyone know what disability he has?

I would say to him "don't bite the hand that feeds you"

This reflects core sovereign‑citizen logic: they believe the state owes them while rejecting its authority, a contradiction that often verges on delusion. They are nearly always on government social security payments, and spend their days 'organising' with other sovereign citizens doing performative para-military operations. Honestly, they are like little boys playing armies with their toys, it's embarrassing.

But children they are not - typically, these are middle‑aged (often white) entitled, narcissistic men dealing with legal or financial hardship - usually triggered by their own illegal behaviour, with minor offences like traffic infractions, which eventually become a long, year-long drawn out battle in the court system while they fight on their flawed US based 'free man' 'knowledge' of 'law'.

They also frequently malinger and engage in “paper terrorism,” using pseudo‑legal manoeuvres to clog courts and waste judicial resources. These tactics burden the legal system, inflate costs for litigants, waste police and court time, and erode public confidence in justice, and this isn't even mentioning the radical violent extremists who commit the atrocities we are seeing here.

This ideology has traditionally attracted disenfranchised, middle-aged or older males facing bankruptcy, mortgage foreclosure or other financial pressures.2 Today’s sovereigns are drawn from different communities and backgrounds, particularly those who are angry at banks and government regulation, as well as con artists and anyone who is attracted to the idea of easy money and a lawless existence.

What do judicial officers need to know about sovereign citizens?

The number of people appearing in courts who identify as “sovereign citizens” appears to be on the rise, particularly...

Edit: I think he will be in a bugout location - a bunker or some sort of other pre-prepared 'hiding place', which is why police can't find him. IMO

Anyone watching this helicopter doing circles near Jindabyne? Not sure if a ‘private’ vehicle would be called in, but it’s odd that it’s just been circling for a good thirty minutes?
